SR Blue Fuses

I just wanted to share my excitement with my SR Blue Fuses. I installed 3 in my Anthem I225. Its been probably 100 hours of burn in time now and I really am beside myself in the difference. The bass is really full, my highs are nicely extended and my soundstage is huge. Just today, my soundstage became ridiculous.
If you are happy with your current amplifier / preamplifier and intend on keeping it for awhile I highly recommend replacing the fuses with SR Blue fuses, if not the Orange fuses. I got my Blues for 30% off. It is quite possibly the best tweak I have done aside from room treatments.

It takes awhile to burn the fuses in but once they are, it’s pretty awesome the difference they make. I was pretty skeptical about this mod and thought it was a lot to spend but now that I have, it was the best $400 mod I have done. It made more of a difference than my upgraded power cords and actually probably made a more of a difference than going from my signal cable silver res speaker cables to my ap solo crystals.

Highly recommended if you already love your amp/preamp and intend to keep them for awhile!

So what is the deal? Is there some sort of super conductive stuff on/in these fuses? What makes them so good. I use ACMEs with graphene and a few other paste concoctions, I've whipped up.
I also polish the heck out of the contact areas and clean clean clean, before application.

I've never heard a difference, but I was doing it as a preventative, measure, nothing else. The fuse in most cases were still completing a circuit between two pieces of copper, go figure, why I didn't hear a difference? BUT I've taken out some pretty crusty fuse holders and fuses, that really did make a difference. I've eliminated a TON in old speaker designs. Night and day, in SQ of some.. because of a sagging ol fuses.

Thanks MC, that's what I'm looking for.

There is stuff I just don't argue with. I try it, and listen. If there is that much of an improvement, I'll give it a shot. I have an amp or two that are prone to pop a fuse every now and then.  I'm a tight ass, no doubt, I need to use one less prone to popping fuses. :-)

Of course my current, shining star, was acting up a bit, blowing fuses. I think I got it calmed down, filter caps were bad. . If  it will hold a fuse for 3 months I'd give it a shot. Month 2 right now.. running 20% cooler. We'll see after that.

Maybe a pair of class D, with the fuse, bypassed, a pair with stock fuses and a pair with SR fuses. Those thing NEVER blow fuses. I suppose there is a break in time, and are direction prone. 
I'll check it out.

So george, if a person does hear a difference he/she is a full of ka-ka?

Is that what you saying. THEY ARE LIARS.

You are not good enough to call others liers. Do you understand that?

Rude person, you wouldn't do it if they were in front of you, I bet...
I know you wouldn't.

Yes it makes a difference, just like class d amps are VERY good. How do like that, your a liar and you don't know what your talking about, nor can you hear. Nor does it make any difference if the wattage doubles. quack quack quack...

Learn some manners, YOU are not the person that knows, a simple thing like "don't call folks liars".  Question is do you have anything to offer?
A fuse made no difference to you, because you can't hear. Now I understand the problem, if it doesn't show up on a scope, it can't be... Funny ka-ka man.

You can't hear admit it.. A guy that spouts all the crap in the world and you can't hear well. That's not a problem. Not realizing it is, and telling other they can't hear IS...

I hope I got your attention. Ka-Ka man get some help for your ears. My Grandmother would have wore you and that mouth of your's right out. Calling folks liars.

What is a gentleman? A person that makes others feel at ease, and secure. NO MATTER WHAT...
